RNA编辑酶ADAR1在大鼠肝移植排斥反应中的变化

ADAR1 Expression in Acute Rejection of Liver Transplantation in Rats

目的观察RNA编辑酶ADAR1在大鼠肝移植排斥反应中的表达变化。方法实验分为4组①同基因移植组(n=15),取Wistar大鼠的肝脏原位移植给Wistar大鼠;②异基因移植组(n=15),取SD大鼠的肝脏移植给Wistar大鼠;③异基因移植+FK506治疗组(n=15),取SD大鼠的肝脏移植给Wistar大鼠,术后肌注FK506,2mg/(kg·d);④对照组(n=15),对Wistar大鼠不行肝移植,仅行开、关腹手术。建立大鼠原位肝移植模型,分别于术后第3、5及7d各处死5只大鼠,取脾脏组织,用RT-PCR方法检测ADAR1 mRNA的表达变化。结果移植后各组大鼠肝脏、脾脏病理变化随时间发展而呈进行性变化,异基因移植组病理变化最明显。ADAR1 mRNA表达在异基因移植组的各个时相点明显高于同基因移植组和异基因移植+FK506治疗组(P<0.001),于第5d时最明显。结论在大鼠原位肝移植发生急性排斥反应时,ADAR1增高程度与排斥反应的强度变化趋势一致。FK506可以抑制ADAR1的表达,明显减轻移植肝组织的急性排斥反应。

Objective To investigate the expression of RNA editase ADAR1 in the lymphocytes in rats＇ spleen with liver transplantation rejection. Methods Thirty SD rats and 75 Wistar rats were included. Fifteen livers from Wistar rats were transplanted to 15 Wistar rats （isograft group）, 30 livers from SD rats were transplanted to 30 Wistar rats （allograft group and allograft＋ FK506 group）, and 15 of them were then intramuscularly injected with FK506, 2 mg/（kg · d）, the other 15 Wistar rats were only operated similarly to the other rats without any liver transplantation （control group）. Five rats were killed and their splenetic tissues were collected on day 3, day 5, and day 7, respectively. The expression of ADAR1 mRNA in lymphocytes of the spleen in acute rejection was detected by RT-PCR. Results Different performance of pathology was observed in all the liver and spleen tissues from the transplanted rats over time, especially in allograft group. The expression of ADAR1 mRNA in the allograft group was significant higher than that of isograft and allograft＋FK506 groups （P〈0. 001）, especially on the 5th day. Conclusion There was a significant positive correlation between expression of ADAR1 and the severity of acute rejection, but the mechanism by which ADAR1 affected the acute rejection is unknown and needs to be further studied. FK506 may inhibit the expression of ADAR1 and remarkably reduce the severity of acute rejection.
